I'm Kent (33yrs) and currently residing in Las Vegas, Nevada. I have been part of the "monster" fish side of the aquarium hobby for about 5 years now.
I currently have a brand new 300 gal tank (temporary use) that currently houses my baby boy, MANG (RTC) and my fussy woman, Toni (TSN). I raised my RTC since he was about 2" long. He is now 26" long and has an awesome personality (almost 4 years old now). My 23" TSN was a rescue and done in the knick of time. She was in a tank with a Texas Horn, two Alligator gars and a lungfish. About 60% of her tail fin were eaten off, along with the her two side fins. Her right one has scars showing her battle wounds.
Anyway, I just recently transferred my cats from their 195 gal tank and into their temporary home, a brand new 300 gal tank. The tank is temporary due to the fact that ATM is building my new 900 gallon acrylic bow front tank for my living room.
I just found this forum after stumbling onto a large catfish tank video on youtube.com. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoFdMcqLUJk). I followed the link to this community. What a treasure find this site is.
Now, the collective experience of monster fish keepers here, you all can help me with my current issue... What new catfish tank mate I can add to my current cat family? I am interested in a paroon, walking cat, armor cat, marble cat, and a hybrid (rtc/tsn). I want to get at least 2 more before I get my large tank... But I don't know what else is out there worth sharing a tank with my current boy, MANG! (RTC).
Anyways... Hello everyone... I can't express how excited I am to join this community!
